Great question.<br />If the fast is related to what I’ve written about, in that you want to know Jesus and the leading of the Spirit better as a result, then take it slowly. Beware of surrendering to what used to be common, but which kept you distracted from what you found through a fast. From what did you get satisfaction before the fast, but which now seems, for lack of a better term, unclean? Lesser satisfactions are often thieves of deeper satisfaction.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191358912351995744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34075051.post-26349609249900777332018-03-09T17:01:33.823-07:002018-03-09T17:01:33.823-07:00Hey Ralph... good stuff as usual.

We think humility is kicking in when we start to agree with the enemy's opinion of us, and if we linger, then the truth becomes vague and eventually twisted. I'm thankful that grace has come to set the record straight, that the life of Christ within settles the lie of "distance". It kills the false message of dual nature. Its delight is witnessed within our hearts as we walk in freedom, and those sin and law chains are blown off our identity landscape. <br />It's the battle in the mind, the final place where belief victories come from the merciful and loving revelation of the truth of the gospel of grace. <br />I hope we believers ask for and walk in His perfect peace and rest, making the choice to believe Him in that one final sacrifice. <br />Ralph, thanks for the truth tools and reminders to shut off the spiritual schizophrenia!<br />-Walter Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03032110439162251670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34075051.post-826174638796203032017-05-15T11:55:07.163-06:002017-05-15T11:55:07.163-06:00How exciting!

After all, isn't that what "fellowship" really is--relating to each other. This whole issue of confessing to restore fellowship (along with legalism, of course) is what drove me away from the "God" who was presented in my denomination. After all, if ALL of my sins have been forgiven and nothing can separate me from the love of God and He never leaves me nor forsakes me and He is faithful when I am faithless, then tell me again, why is God giving me the cold shoulder?<br /><br />This view of God makes Him out to be petty, fickle, and downright abusive. In short, THIS kind of confession is a boat load of crap!<br /><br />Since then I've learned what "confess" really means (to agree with God), and this kind of confession is very healthy, even essential. After all, why woudln't we agree with God about EVERYTHING--including the complete and total forgiveness of all of our sins and a right relationship with Him based on and sustained by Christ's work on the Cross (not my ability to remember and agree).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34075051.post-47057887841177844612016-07-09T14:13:32.512-06:002016-07-09T14:13:32.512-06:00Somewhere it is written (hey, if the writer of Heb...Somewhere it is written (hey, if the writer of Hebrews can do that, so can I, right?): "Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is FREEDOM!"
